I do it with EVs (and not gas cars) because many people worry about range and charging times.

They also wonder whether it's practical to own one without having access to home charging.

Explaining it this way conveys the "impact" to daily life better than talking strictly about numbers.

Me saying "usually I charge once a week while getting groceries" is lived experience and quite relatable (I hope).

I also try to be honest and not make any claims about use cases which are not mine (I'm not trying to sell something). I very seldomly do long drives > 2h so if someone does that regularly, my personal experience won't apply.

Of course if people want to nerd out over kwH and kW I'm ready to do that as well but many don't care about that.

Edit: Everybody knows how gas cars work. No need to explain that. But my friends and family are curious about EVs.

This actually kinda makes sense, and the argument goes like this. It is rather obviously subjective what constitutes "promoting science and useful arts" (including the very definition of "useful" etc). So when it comes to enforcing this clause, you need some body to decide on what these translate to in practice. And this can be either the courts or the legislature. Between the two, the legislature is the one that citizens have more control over, so giving it the ability to decide is intended to make these kinds of abuses easier to rectify (just vote for the right guys!) as opposed to dealing with obstinate courts.

I know this comment doesn't add much to the discussion, but why, god, why does the author feel the need to write completely in lowercase? It seems completely unnecessary. Impress with your words, not with a weird formatting.
This is such an odd answer. "People are bored so they become degens", is ... not the full picture, I don't think.

Well, that just shows that the metric of learning time is clearly flawed. Although one could argue LLaMA learns while OS just writes info down as is.

But even the sibling concept comment is wrong, because it takes 4 years for _most_ people who are even capable of programming to learn programming, and current LLMs all took much less than that.
Well-maintained, electric (obviously) commuter trains aren't that noisy. It's less annoying than a moderately busy road.

In London complaints about noise from stations was more common at some point than from the train itself. ("The train now approaching platform 2 is the midnight forty-five South West Trains service to London Waterloo calling at London Waterloo only. This train is formed of eight carriages. If you see anything suspicious, call the British Transport Police on 1984. See it, say it, suck on it.")

Are those herbs actually evenly distributed though?
Suppose if we enabled people to create more and toil less we may have more fun.

Instead, we seem to have taken the route to make people toil more, chained to a computer or factory line, while the machines churn out digital imitations and any real artifacts of some bygone creatives become so precious they can only be treated as museum pieces because its the only way anyone will see what humans are capable of doing in that capacity in some hopefully not misguided hope that we will enlighten people in the future to make wiser choices.
> Package managers _are_ deterministic, but they also are reliant on the published package versions that match the listed constraints, _at the time the package manager ran and generated the lockfile_.

Yes, that's why "version numbers" are basically documentation; unrelated to the actual files depended on by a build (e.g. try copying random junk into `~/.m2/repository`). Hence, if we want to use those names/versions to refer to particular files, we should specify the database we're using to do the lookup (AKA the repository's "index state").

> A dep listed as `foo: ^1.2.0` will match version 1.2.3 today. If 1.3.0 or 1.9.57 is published tomorrow, it will match that newer version.

hackage.haskell.org lets us specify what "today" is, via a datetime https://cabal.readthedocs.io/en/3.4/cabal-project.html?highl...

However, it's even better is to use a database that's kept in version control. There's a third-party attempt to do this for Hackage, at https://github.com/commercialhaskell/all-cabal-hashes whereas crates.io does this natively at https://github.com/rust-lang/crates.io-index
> A simulation is not the process itself.

Sometimes a simulation IS the thing. A simulation of a wall clock IS a functioning clock (e.g. the clock icon on our smartphones). An autopilot that can takeoff, fly, and land an airplane IS a pilot. Chess engines that can beat grandmasters are chess players. A computer simulation of a teacher that can educate students is a teacher. Sometimes these simulations lack some of the capabilities of their human counterparts, and sometimes they far exceed them.

You would not reject a computer-controlled dialysis machine as "just a simulation" if you had kidney failure would you?
Interesting. I'm not sure we can really call these arabic-derived, though. They do seem to ultimately trace back to fairly unrelated arabic words, but their first use in mathematics (much later) seems to have come in the form of a mixture of words from European languages. The two examples I gave seem to be more legitimately Arabic in origin.

It seems to be the primary meaning in software: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Observability_(software)
My preferred way of working is plain sublime text and the terminal. I use command line tools for linting, formatting and type checking, wrapped in “make lint”.

I find that sublime is just smart enough to go to the definition using only its “dumb” grepping based approach.

I think the hurdles of getting a nice LSP setup that works across projects in different languages and in a polyglot monorepo is a real determinant. I just really dislike spending any time configuring my editor past the basics, because I’m lazy, updates break them, I move between machines, etc. Getting comfortable with just the basic features means I have less pain maintaining my editor. It’s not a great excuse but for me it’s the path of least resistance.

I frequently pair with colleagues, some are vscode users that are heavy on LSPs and copilot. I have one greybeard colleague who runs a very sophisticated neovim setup, and spends a lot of time maintaining it. We’re all roughly equally productive at the “writing code” part of the job. What sets us apart is our skill in actual software development, which I find is completely uncorrelated to the editor setup. We all work in the tools that are most comfortable to ourselves.
Nadir always seemed very obviously Arabic to me. Weirdly, I first encountered it in a book on category theory, and only after that did I start to hear it used in everyday English to mean the opposite of 'apex'.
In all those examples trains are no different than movie theaters, malls, markets, sport and music events, etc. i.e: just places where large groups of people gather.
You don't really want an agile toilet interface. This is more a waterfall project.
The second-class citizen terminology in modern usage is generally used to highlight all cases of systemic discrimination or unequal access to material or social needs. Commonly thought examples of second-class citizen like apartheid is historical important but very far from modern use of the term. In some cases second-class citizen is also used to describe immigrants that has not received citizenship.

Modern use of second class citizens is generally ridiculous, but words do change meaning over time.
Well, I can see that my opinion is not a popular one, but I stand by it. As a skinny-arsed bloke, I find sitting down for long periods very uncomfortable. The literature seems to agree that women are more able to sit upright for long periods, though there is no consensus as to why.

> Pretty much all differences in this regard can be attributed to the fact that the female pelvis needs to accommodate giving birth

I don't doubt that this is true, but a thing can evolve to serve two or more purposes. Feathers likely initially evolved for the purposes of thermoregulation, as well as to serve mating behavior.
This seems analogous to the beat to death "strawberry" test where you're essentially testing if the model is trained on tokens or not. When you switch to having it write a Python program (in both scenarios) instead of trying to process it directly you stop trying to work directly with individual letter inputs+outputs so it does better.
Outside an appeal to some "soul", a human is a product of genes/nature (source code) and environment/nurture (input data), like any other living thing. Following its programming (to maintain internal state within certain parameters, ie. survive), when hungry, it eats (first seeking "food" if not immediately available). When it believes itself to be in danger, it attempts to protect itself, whether it be from the extreme of elements or other living things. It has the capability and urge to reproduce, or even to just make some kind of "impact", as an indirect means of "surviving" death. And it has the capacity to build tools and plan for the future, always doing what it takes to prolong said survival in whichever way it sees fit, whether it's participating in groups to gather/hunt more efficiently, or taking on a 9-5 job to earn a living for itself and perhaps its partner(s) and/or offspring.

All this is deterministically computable, given the availability of sufficient computational power, which in this case is the universe as we understand it. It boils down to logic.
Hmm. Maybe the next version should use AI to deduce the path the whizzing crew member took, by combining the tank fill status with other telemetry data like station orientation, vibration in different components etc.
Yes, I replaced one bad cell in my 2006 Prius. I got the cell on eBay for $20 and it took a few hours to remove the traction battery, replace the cell and put the traction battery back in. Add an hour if you clean the copper battery connectors. The battery has worked fine now for 10 months. Now my biggest problem is body rust.

Consider the first diagram in the linked paper (a, pg 2). It is pretty obvious that black could have killed the internal group in the top-right corner at any time for ~26 points. That'd be about enough to tip the game. Instead somehow black's group died giving white ~100 points and white wins easily. Black would have had ~50 moves to kill the internal group.

Or if you want a replay, try https://goattack.far.ai/adversarial-policy-katago#contents - the last game (KataGo with 10,000,000 visits
- https://goattack.far.ai/adversarial-policy-katago#10mil_visi...} - game 1 in the table) shows KataGo with a trivially winning position around move 200 that it then throws away with a baffling sequence of about 20 moves. I'm pretty sure even as late as move 223 KataGo has an easily winning position, looks like it wins the capture race in the extreme lower left. It would have figured out the game was over by the capture 8 moves later.

Do you think the information in "what your boss is like" and "how your kids do in school" larger than amount of data you'd need to learn in order to give descent law advice on a spot?

Car handling is a bit harder to measure, precisely because LLMs aren't running cars quite yet, but also I am not aware of any experimental data saying they can't. So as far as I'm concerned nobody just tried that with LLMs of >70GB.

Dunning Kruger IMO makes it quite likely that any substantial investment be a bit more like gambling than it ideally should be, as the difference really only exists in the amount of knowledge one has in the industry one invests in.

On the other hand, most financial advice also states that one should not keep more than X months worth of expenses in cash, otherwise one is still losing money on inflation and the likes.

EDIT: Then again, if you are staring at the tickers all day, that might still be a problem.

Not yet, but when CEOs are getting shot and people cheer the shooter, I think it's not that far off.
I completely disagree, and think work from home (which most of our ancestors did until the industrial revolution) is infinitely better for making and sustaining healthy friendships. There's not 90-120 minutes of commute time sitting alone in a car. There's not the very common occurrences of layoffs and promotions making you directly competing with each other. Instead you've got all that extra time to just spend time with your neighbors and make friendships.

You can choose to work from a co-working space, coffeeshops, libraries, or just stay at home. But instead of getting home exhausted at 6-7pm needing to cook, clean, chores, etc, you can get that stuff done during your lunch break and then pop around to a friend's house by 5:05pm.

It's so much better I can't imagine going back to an office where I'm sitting alone and sad in a cube all day trying to focus while people yammer on the phone right next to me.

The case studies used here are the smallest of small fries and the implementations are very simple. but similarly simple implementations have been used in more exciting and destructive cases. like the "squid game" coin. the squid contract actually had almost no functionality in it. Squid code said, roughly: "I am a coin, you can trade me. For all other functionality, I do whatever [some other address] tells me to do". Then, when you look at that other address, its code there is unverified, & when decompiled reveals fee-setter shenanigans and stuff of that nature.
